Jeff,I've had success on the bladeforum and spyderco forum for special edition knives, but just shop around til you get the best price.

Here are the two you mentioned for a comparison:

I like the Native too. The Delica is a good knife but if you have more to spend, you'll be happier with an upgrade.Do you want me to compare the Native to anything? I have a Native 4 but they're basically the same.

Rookie,You've hit the nail on the head with J knives vs. pocket knives. The main reason why I really got into Spyderco is that there were too many options overall so I had to limit myself to one brand.Think about ordering a J knife, and having options for 5 or six different handles, 2 or 3 grinds, and 5 or so steel types. For every knife. That's not mentioning the specials. It's a crazy world for sure.

The Endura zdp I had was about 3 and a half ounces. The Manix 2 is around 5 ounces, at least the g10 one. I recently sold my Endura, wasn't a fan of the blade shape or steel, but I used to carry it all the time without any issue.

That Native in carpenter xhp looks like it fits the bill Jeff B. I might have to snag one myself, thanks Madrookie.

Benchmade for life.

In all seriousness, I'm not sure whether kitchen or pocket knives are more complicated, and that's saying something. I, instead of learning about it, just pick a few brains when I need a new one.

That doesn't always work. The last time I tried asking around everyone tried to get me to buy an Opinel. Not quite what I had in mind.
